Cambridgeshire Pigeon Control

Pigeons are an exceptionally widespread pest in the United Kingdom. They are frequently found in cities and urban areas. Pigeon populations have increased drastically, most likely due to feeding by members of the public. For home and business owners in these areas, the strategies for pest control may be restricted. All wild birds and their nests are safeguarded by law and should not be killed unless they present a health and safety risk to members of the public.

However, bird proofing is a frequent method used to regulate pigeons. There are various different strategies used to bird proof buildings. The most widespread approach is to install anti-roost spikes which are metal or plastic spikes that stick up in areas where pigeons roost and prevent them from doing so. Other options for bird proofing buildings include bird nets or types of gel or other liquids that are applied to an area and discourage pigeons from roosting. These methods are effective at stopping pigeons from roosting on certain buildings, but will rarely have a significant effect on pigeons in a larger area.

Qualified pest control companies can give you advice on the most effective way to control a pigeon infestation. If there are pigeons nesting on your roof or other areas of your house, they will be able to move the pigeons that are roosting and any chicks they may have safely and without harming the birds, and then fit bird proofing techniques to make sure pigeons do not roost there in future.
